Jamaican Bulldog 131 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 There are some nice Mack photo archives books out there that are dedicated to certain model lines such as AC, AP, E, L, B and fire truck models that also describe things about them. How come there are no dedicated book on probably the longest produced model like the R or DM for example or models afterwards? Yes there are a few general books on Mack history but it would have been nice to see on more models with info on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

james j neiweem 765 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Jam Bulldog: The books you are referring to were put out (edited from with permission from the Mack Museum) by Thomas E. Warth. I have volume 2 of the B models. Great picture book but has almost no dialogue. Volume one of the B models is quite pricy if you can find it. Some of these books can be found on ebay or amazon. I guess Mr. Warth didn't get around to the later F's G's W's R's DM's RD's MH's etc. May bee some Mack eager beaver can pick up the torch. I am not sure if Mr. Warth is still with us. Just checked on Amazon Volume 1 of the B models is for sale for $987.00!(What)! Volume 2 can be had on ebay for about $ 50.00) Still some L model books available for about $50.00.🙂 Edited January 1 by james j neiweem Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Checked out my shelf and found out a B-model Volume 1 getting dust there. Seems like if I wait for a couple more years I would be able to swap it for a real B-model truck including shipping 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to post Share on other sites

h67st 1,169 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I have some Mack photo books, this is a really nice one--Mack Driven for a Century by John Heilig. You can get it on ebay and other places for $20.00. Lots of photos and history from the beginning through 1999. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james j neiweem 765 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Interesting find in Mr. Warth's Mack B models volume 2. Go to page 112 and see a picture of a B733 LS and Look at the cab. It almost looks like a for runner of the R model cab. The B733 LS on the next page has the L model cab. Anybody know the story of the cab on page 112.😗 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackey58 523 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It would be great to see a book done on the R series why they changed from the B to the R. Either those knowable people are gone or Volvo doesn't want to be reminded of an icon there ruining Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like I bought it off the discount table at a book store for $9.95. Of course, that was a loooooong time ago! Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

davehummell 418 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Swishy, Thanks for the photo's the last cat bulldozer I drove was a twenty I showed the owner how to start it and operate the tractor. Kind of an odd model lots more 10's around or the d-2's or d-4's. Back in the early 70's I worked on a 20 old logger run it and a 933 track loader no one would go near the 20 hand crank start everyone was afraid to try it just pull up and keep your thumb out and no problems.
